Abstract
The cathode-ray tube (CRT) is the dominant display device for video and high-resolution applications. It has superior and more than adequate speed (bandwidth) and resolution for the presentation of time-varying pictorial information that is aesthetically satisfying to the human observer. Alphanumerics and graphics are also best displayed on the CRT. A variety of monochrome displays as well as high-quality multicolor presentations can be achieved.
